Claudio...

The number one fear of men in that time was LOSS OF POWER...think about
it...They feared its loss through female betrayal! Did you ever
wonder WHY there are sooooo many "cuckoldry" jokes in all of his
plays, especially Much Ado? That's why...Claudio looked like a FOOL
in front of his comerades...why would ANY man in that time feel
he had to accept it? He COULD NOT accept it.
